ALEXANDRIA, La. -- Heartland Energy Group Inc. (Pink Sheets: HEGP) today announced that they have entered into a Retail Identity Agreement with Inarea. Under the terms of the agreement Inarea will create a retail identity, which will include the branding of e85 and alternative fuel pumps for the future distribution of Heartland's full line of bio-fuel products.

Heartland Energy with the help of Inarea intends to create an alternative fuel section for independent gas stations throughout the U.S.A. Inarea's expertise in the energy sector is proven by representing many international companies such as ENI (owner of AGIP) the ninth largest energy company in the world and Enel (NYSE:EN), the main Italian electricity and gas supplier.

Roy Thornhill President of Heartland Energy Group stated that: "This agreement is the first step in enabling Heartland Energy to establish a retail presence in the alternative energy sector. Branding is an essential marketing strategy that will raise consumer awareness about our products."

Ethanol Industry:

The growing interest in ethanol, a clean, corn-based renewable resource, has paralleled the escalating price of gas and the urgent need to break the country's dependence on crude oil. Recently, the Big Three automobile manufacturers, GM (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE: F), and DaimlerChrysler (NYSE: DCX), appealed to Congress for incentives to increase the number of gas stations that offer blends of ethanol. Last year, Microsoft (NasdaqGS: MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates pumped $84 million into Pacific Ethanol (NasdaqGM: PEIX). Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group and worth an estimated $3 Billion, has plans to invest $300 to $400 million to produce and market this alternative fuel. Vinod Khosla, "guru" of Silicon Valley, co-founder of Sun Microsystems (NasdaqGS: SUNW), and one of ethanol's most vocal advocates, has personally invested millions in private companies involved in the development of ethanol.
